Iran blasts Muslim countries for ties to Israel
Fri. 7 Oct 2005 Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Oct. 07 – A senior Iranian cleric blasted on Friday fellow Muslim countries for having ties to the state of Israel, accusing them of “betraying Islamic people and society”.
At the Tehran Friday prayers sermon, Guardian Council chief Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati vowed that Tehran would continue to stand against the “Jewish enemy”.
“Today, Israel calls on them (Muslim countries) to make their relations public and they are in this path. The vulgar action of the Pakistani President in America was for this purpose”, Jannati, who heads the country’s top vetting organ, said.
“I believe that the development is the publicising of [their] relations. The only country that can stand up to Israel and the plundering, evil forces, and fight against injustice and violation of values and the Holy Quran is the Islamic Republic of Iran, and I am sure that such a thing is possible”, the Guardian Council chief added.
He called on Muslims to rise to Jihad, adding that the Islamic Republic must never give in or appease the “enemy”.

Iran’s powerful cleric dares West to “bring it on”
Fri. 7 Oct 2005 Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Oct. 07 – A powerful Iranian cleric told Tehran’s Friday prayers worshippers the Islamic Republic was unwavering in its nuclear venture and unafraid of international sanctions.
“We mustn’t be afraid of sanctions. Even though there is a loss, it also has benefits. We should not fear the losses”, Guardian Council chief Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said.
“If we have made any headway these days, it is because of these sanctions against us. Otherwise, we would be like these Arab countries, who have to import everything”, Jannati said.
“If we fear sanctions then we will have to accept submission”, Jannati said.
The powerful cleric, who is a trusted confidant of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused the European trio of Britain, France and Germany of having cheated Iran during the nuclear talks. He said what the U.S. and European were saying on Iran’s nuclear program “doesn’t make sense in any logic”.
The IAEA board of governors has adopted a resolution that would refer Iran’s nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council for possible sanctions.
